Hundreds Years After I Was Called [Just Corpse], I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up - Chapter 82: Found Out
===A Certain Undead With Communication Disorder===
It seemed this ship had been hijacked by pirates.
「 Eh? Seriously?」
…Meaning that the female Holy Knight, who went out to see the situation, was in danger too.
At that moment, I heard footsteps approaching from the corridor.
Maybe it was the female Holy Knight.
But the one who opened the door roughly was clearly a rowdy man.
He threw a glance at me and spit out.
「Tch, why is there a beggar in this special-class room?」
My bad for looking like a beggar.
Anyhow, my clothes were indeed cheap for someone who reserved a special-class room.
「Hey, you better do as I say if you don’t want to die!」
Going by his tone, this guy was most likely one of the pirates.
I approached the man who spouted that threat to me.
「Hey, didn’t you hear what I told you just now?!」
Although he pointed his saber as he shouted at me, honestly, that was far from enough to scare me.
The saber struck my arm, and then― CLANK!
「Eh? BUGAA?!」
I knocked the man unconscious with a punch to his guts.
When I passed by his side and went out to the corridor, I encountered another pirate.
「W-What are you do― ARGH?!」
I silenced that fella with one punch too, walking again in the corridor.
「…They might be gathered on the deck.」
+++
And just as I expected, the deck was filled with pirates.
The ship which seemed to be that of the pirates was right beside our ship. The adventurers were tied up and rolling on the ground.
Yeah, it seemed the pirates were really occupying this ship.
Maybe the female Holy Knight was in a difficult situation right now.
「Tch, why is there a passenger here? Didn’t you hear the broadcast announcement from a while ago?」
When I was wondering about the whereabouts of the female Holy Knight, another pirate came over to me and seized me by my collar.
「Now go back to your room if you don’t want to die.」
Whoops… my hood.
I forgot that I hid my appearance.
It seemed the pirate before me had finally noticed that I was the rumored No Life King when he saw my face from close up.
I pushed him out immediately to avoid this situation.
「GUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!」
…Oh crap, I ended up using a bit too much power.
Thanks to that, the pirate ended up being blown dozens meters in the air, landing on the deck.
It seemed he had passed out since he didn’t wake up again.
The deck was set abuzz at once, and everyone’s attention was focused on me.
I quickly put on my hood.
「You should be the man in the same room as that girl over there… So you’re looking for the girl, eh. Unfortunately for you, we already hijacked this ship. If only you stayed obediently in your ca— Eh? You should’ve drunk the tea too… So how are you still awake?」
The man who I didn’t recognize looked really surprised when he saw me.
He seemed to be different from the other pirates, limited to his sailor attire though.
The tea that I drank, did he say?
How did he know that?
Although I was curious about that matter, I was more worried about the girl who was laying down on the floor right beside him.
It was the female Holy Knight.
By the look of it, it seemed she had only fallen asleep.
I heaved a sigh of relief upon realizing that.
「「「DIE!!」」」
The pirates who surrounded me charged toward me at once.
「HAH!! DON’T THINK WE WILL GIVE YOU THE CHANCE TO DO ANYTHING!! DIEEEEEEEE!」
One of those pirates slashed at me with the saber in his hand.
CLANK!
I received his slash with the palm of my hand.
「Eh? UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!」
And then, I caught the man who was still dumbfounded upon seeing me receive his slash with my bare hands and threw him out into the sea.
Naturally, I didn’t forget to send his friends to enjoy the sea along with him.
I went straight toward the female Holy Knight as I cleaned up the pirates on the deck.
Seeing that, the man in a sailor suit screamed at me.
「H-HOW CAN IT BE?! YOU SHOULD’VE DRUNK THE TEA TOO! WHY ARE YOU STILL AWAKE?!」
And how the h*ll do you know about me drinking tea?
After all, the one who brought that tea was supposed to be the vice-captain.
No, wait a minute… Could it be that the tea was spiked?
That would explain why the female Holy Knight was sleeping in this kind of situation.
The drug didn’t work since I was an undead.
I mean, not even the deadliest poison would work on me now.
「S-STOP RIGHT THERE! STOP OR I’LL KILL THIS WOMAN!」
「…!」
Ah, this guy ended up taking the female Holy Knight hostage!
How cowa— Wait a minute, he was only acting like a pirate should.
「KILL HIM!!!」
「「「OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!」」」
Thanks to the hostage, now the pirates gained new hope and charged toward me.
This situation was truly deadly—for a normal human. Fortunately, I was an undead.
I should have found a gap when they were busily attacking me.
Unfortunately, even though my body was safe, the same couldn’t be said for my clothes.
The hood that had already turned into scraps of rags danced in the air.
The man in a sailor suit then screamed upon seeing my face.
「T-those eyes and that hair… N-No way…! N-N-N-NO LIFE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING?!」
Oh crap, he realized my true identity!
「No Life… King?」
「What the h*ll is that?」
The majority of the pirates tilted their heads in puzzlement, but the man in a sailor suit looked really frightened to the point that he dropped the knife in his hand.
…NOW~
I kicked the deck and closed in toward the man in a sailor suit at once.
「~?!」
His eyes were blown wide, clearly panicking upon seeing me suddenly appear right in front of him.
Maybe due to how scared he was, he fainted while blowing bubbles from his mouth.
「Eh? Just like that…」
I didn’t do anything though…
Oh whatever, I had to secure the female Holy Knight right away.
「Are you okay?」
I tried to wake her up by hitting her cheeks, but she didn’t move at all.
But I knew that she was only sleeping since her breathing was normal.
「Uhh…」
The one who lay on the deck closest to her, with his body bound by rope, was the captain.
There were blue bruises on his face, which were probably caused by the pirates.
「EEEEK」
He let out a small shriek the moment he saw my face.
…Oh cr*p.
The captain must’ve realized that I was the No Life King.
Oh well, I should set my worries aside for now.
First, I had to do something about those pira—
“DOOOOOOOOOOON,” the ship suddenly shook along with a loud bang.
